It seems some of my outlook 2003 contacts have an apostrophe before and after
the e-mail address. These are not in the contacts folder when I go look up
these people, but it shows that way when I enter their names from
autocomplete and from the double click on TO and then selecting the name from
the list of contacts. I have 2300 contacts and this has not been a problem
until recently. I've exported to windows CSV, did a find/replace to get rid
of them and then imported, but they seem to eventually come back. I'd
appreciate any thoughts/advice.

Thanx

Explain why you think this matters. What function are you missing?

some have it some don't so if I'm looking for Lewis and he has it in front of
his name it does not autocomplete, but if I type 'L then it does. If I can
remove it I think autocomplete is working fine and all the folks I have in my
list are availalbe just by name.

Whether you see an apostrophe or not depends, from what I can tell, on the
sender's client. Even so, I just tested your conditions. I added an entry
to the autocompletion cache of

'Test User'

I then opened a new message window and entered an apostrophe. I saw the
entry in the list that appears. I then entered "t" and I still saw the
entry in the list that appears.

Wow, I'm confused. At any rate, I appeciate your help and quick responses.
I will assume it's my set up or that I have too many contacts and I'm bogging
something down. Thanx again...it's still good to know I don't have to fix
these or look for what's causing it. Merry Christmas.
